Electrical Engineering Technology Bachelors Degree

Electrical Engineering Technology prepares graduates to enter the technical workforce in a variety of fields. Electrical Engineering Technology graduates are typically involved in areas such as: development, design, quality assurance, technical documentation, production, maintenance, test, field service, or technical sales.

Students are required to take one project-based capstone course as part of their 13 hours of electives. Contact the department to obtain a list of acceptable project-based capstone courses. Any non-required upper division (3XXX/4XXX) ECET course, with the exception of ECET 3000, may be used for the remainder of their EET electives. Students may also choose one department approved course from outside their major to count as an EET elective.

  • Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe career and professional accomplishments that the program prepares graduates to achieve during the first few years following graduation. Graduates of electrical engineering technology will:

    1. Possess an appropriate knowledge of the fundamentals of electrical engineering technology, mathematics, science and technologies in order to adapt to rapidly changing technologies.
    2. Function and communicate effectively, both individually and within team, demonstrating ethical, respectful and professional behavior in all environments and associations.
    3. Apply creativity in design, testing and maintenance of electrical engineering technology systems, and think critically to identify, evaluate and solve complex technical and non-technical problems.
    4. Recognize the need for a commitment to pursue continuous self-improvement and lifelong learning.
    5. Be cognizant of contemporary professional, societal and global issues and be aware of and respect diverse cultures.
    6. Obtain and maintain a meaningful employment in their respective disciplines and attain increasing levels of responsibility and leadership in chosen career fields.

  • Student outcomes describe the knowledge and skills acquired by students who complete the program. Students completing the mechanical engineering technology program will have:

    1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
    2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
    3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
    4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
    5. An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
